==Club career==

===Europe===
Beginning his career at [[Sydney]] club [[Blacktown City FC|Blacktown City]] he moved to Dutch club [[AFC Ajax|Ajax Amsterdam]] where he played from 1995–97. Foxe soon established a reputation as a talented young defender, earning a move to [[J1 League]] club [[Sanfrecce Hiroshima]] in 1998–99.

Becoming an important player both at club and international level, Foxe represented his country at the  [[Football at the 1996 Summer Olympics|1996 Summer Olympics]] and [[Football at the 2000 Summer Olympics|2000 Summer Olympics]]. He impressed enough to earn a move to England's [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]] for the 2000–01 season. He was then immediately loaned to Belgian club [[KV Mechelen|Mechelen]] in order to build up his match fitness. Foxe returned to West Ham United in March, but struggled in the [[Premier League|Premiership]], losing his place when then manager [[Harry Redknapp]] left the club later that year.

After playing only 12 games for West Ham, he moved to [[Portsmouth F.C.|Portsmouth]] (then managed by Harry Redknapp) for [[Pound sterling|£]]400,000 in May 2002.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/2014417.stm|title=Redknapp bags Foxe|work=BBC Sport|date=29 May 2002|access-date=7 November 2012}}</ref> Foxe was an important player as Portsmouth won the 2002–03 [[Football League First Division|First Division]] title, and in doing so were promoted to the [[Premier League|Premiership]]. He was a regular in Portsmouth's side until a fractured bone in his foot ended his campaign at Christmas. He spent the rest of that season, as well as the 2004–05 season, rehabilitating.

New manager [[Alain Perrin]] elected not to renew his contract when it expired in June 2005, and he was released. Foxe returned to Australia to undergo an operation in an attempt to resolve his ongoing injury problems. Foxe trained with [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]] during their 2006 pre-season campaign and signed a five-month permanent contract with the [[Yorkshire]] club on 11 August 2006.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/leeds_united/4779653.stm|title=Defender Foxe earns Leeds switch|work=BBC Sport|date=11 August 2006|access-date=7 November 2012}}</ref>

Foxe attempted to rebuild his career at [[Leeds]] and since the departure of [[Kevin Blackwell]], both care-taker manager [[John Carver (footballer)|John Carver]] and new manager [[Dennis Wise]] provided the Aussie with chances to perform. Foxe however only ultimately played a bit part in the 2006–07 season and was released at the end of the season when Leeds United were relegated to English [[Football League One|League One]]. He scored one league goal during his time at Leeds, against Luton in a 5–1 defeat.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/6050750.stm | title=Luton 5–1 Leeds | work=BBC Sport | date=21 October 2006 |access-date=15 September 2009}}</ref>

===Perth Glory===
In 2007, he returned to Australia to play for [[Perth Glory FC|Perth Glory]] in the [[A-League]] and missed the first half of the season due to a knee injury but returned later in the season to play the last six games of the 2007–08 season. After finishing the 2008–09 season with Glory, he has been released.
